Self-Stitched September.....Finally!

Yes, I did take on a challenge for the month of September.

No, I haven't posted since the first weekend of said month.

Yes, it is mid-October.

Okay, so lesson learned....don't sign up for an extra challenge when you just moved, started P90x, teach 12 credit hours, and try to take 9 hours of grad work. Duh. But I sort of made it. Here are the highlights of Self-Stitched September:


Dress: Sewn by me (Burda style Anda)
Fringy Boots: Victoria's Secret
Earrings: Made by me, leather feathers
Box in the background: Side effect of moving, please ignore
I called this look Hippie Chic :)


Dress: Sewn by Me (Modified Built by Wendy dress)
Leggings: Wal-Mart, bad decision, fell down all day
Shoes: Burlap TOMS


Slippers: Knit by me, French Press Felted Slippers
Wore these everyday...so I did actually wear something me-made each day!
Probably the best thing I have ever made/knit. My toe poked out of the side the other day, so it's looking like a new pair is going to have to get stitched soon, because it's getting chilly!


Dress: Tank-top re-fashion + elastic gathered skirt
Cardigan: Old Navy
Shoes: Corduroy TOMS


Dress: DKNY
Leggings: American Apparel
Earrings: Me-made leather feathers
Cuff: Made by me, Refashioned tie w/ button

The Close-up/stupid face:

Headband: Self-stitched
Top: Made by Etsy shop Replicca
Jeans: Big Star Trousers
Shoes: TOMS Wedges in Navy Stripe

So, not a complete failure. I did figure out that I don't have nearly enough garments in my wardrobe for the cooler months, so I'm looking into fixing that. I think I have a plan, too. That will have to wait for another post, though!
